It is a magnificent sight. I find that despite the binoculars, the
Astroscan, and the Dob, I spend the most time just staring at it with my
eyes. The peepers, the deer standing next to me munching my tulips, heck I
even took my cat out to see, to just stare in awe at the spectacle.
Boy are we going to be sad if we don't discover a new bright comet
next year!
